Spurs Team Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Leah Brown on Concussions & Early TBI Identification
Episode 293

Spurs Team Orthopedic Surgeon Dr. Leah Brown on Concussions & Early TBI Identification Link for CME Credit Coming soon! San Antonio Spurs Head Team Orthopaedic Surgeon Dr. Leah Brown joins Pediatrics Now to discuss concussion recognition and early traumatic brain injury (TBI) identification—an especially timely topic following recent attention on Spurs star Victor Wembanyama (“Wemby”) and his concussion. Host Holly Wayment explores what happens medically in real time when a head injury is suspected and what pediatricians and frontline providers need to know to recognize and respond to concussion and early TBI. It also reviews practical tools like SCAT-6, stepwise return-to-learn before return-to-play, activity progression thresholds, when to escalate care or image, the limits of protective headgear, and the need to change sports culture to prioritize brain health.
